I thought it was four. The good news is, we have a few months to iron this out. I think a factor should be how many people participate next year. The only reason I bring that up is that my friend and former co-worker RathfulProphetic, who lost his job a few months ago, has dropped off the face of t...

Hey Shaan, How happy are you to have picked up Gravity in the 6th round?!?!?

Gravity's dailies have been outstanding this week and it looks like a tiny drop is in order this weekend. 1. Gravity - $39M 2. Captain Phillips - $25M 3. Cloudy 2 - $15M 4. Machete Kills - $7M Yeah, when you take into account PTA and Top 5's this may be more of a must have than Thor or the Hobbit w...

First Place, Baby! You'll never catch me now!

I don't know about the non-slate thing. Anybody p.m. UDM? I don't want to be harsh, but I figure part of this is getting your act together on this. Kind of like a Fantasy Football line-up. If you don't get it submitted you don't get the points. fwiw

Wise. I think Diana is going to bomb. Early reviews have been brutal!

I'm happy with a 20 million OW for a $12 price tag at this time of the year, especially since an adult-oriented drama with good reviews should be pretty leggy. It should have good legs, except that in the next few weeks, Prisoners is going to run into a lot of other adult dramas that will split the...

Just to be clear - I suck at the Waiver Wire.

Having said that: I'd like to drop No Good Deed and add Best Man's Holiday.

If I'm right on all of this it might be first time ever.

Agreed. And while I'd rather have chosen "We're the MIllers", Planes has really held on about as well as I could have hoped. I think it's got another week or two in it still which isn't bad.

Yeah, although I thought they would do okay, I saw the potential for Elysium and Hangover 3 to do worse than expected. But as silly as it looked, I really thought White House Down was gonna kill it. I was so disappointed I didn't get that on my slate. Course, I didn't see it either, so there you go....

Well, I guess I should be encouraged that I have 3 of the movies you just mentioned, but they are going to have to go gaga (and not in the MTV VMA sense) in order for me to end in the top half. Yes, you're right there will be surprises, that's certainly been the fun of these leagues before. But so f...

Yeah, sadly I think Aquamann has this pretty well sewn up. Losing Noah may hurt (I think that got bumped to Summer, right?) but the huge business of WWZ was just too good. This is my first year in the draft, but I expected to do better than I have so far. Frozen and The Monuments Men are going to ha...

I don't think I picked it at all. But Planes, that's really proving me a genius. Sucks!

Just kidding. Drop No Good Deeds and add Lone Survivor if no one else has claimed it yet. Already picked up during the draft I'm afraid. The list of available films is on the first page of this thread. Yeah, I thought I went through everybody's slates and didn't see it. I must be getting old. Alrig...

Hey guys,

I'm gone for the next several days now and away from this computer. I thought we might have the draft done by then, but doesn't look like it. So, if someone could FB me when I'm up again I'll try and figure out some way to check what's left and draft accordingly. Thanks!

Hey Shryke,

Thanks for update. 2 things.

1, I think I've only got 4 movies out not 5 like you list. No big deal.

And 2, I think I've dropped The Last Knights for The Lone Survivor. Can you check on those when you get a chance. Thanks.
